Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the specific formula of "AOR Advanced Orthomolecular Research Advanced Advanced B Complex" suggests it is a B-complex supplement, and our data only includes information on calcium as an ingredient [NIH ODS]. You should verify the full ingredient list on the product label to understand what you are taking.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain dense, strong bones. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, ensuring your muscles and nerves signal and function properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Signs of excessive calcium include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should check the product label to confirm all ingredients, as our data only covers calcium. If you are taking calcium, stay within the recommended daily intake and take it separately from medications like thyroid hormone or antibiotics. Do not exceed recommended doses, and consult your doctor if you have a history of kidney stones or heart disease [NIH ODS].
